DRIVING LICENCES AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION

If you bring your foreign-registered vehicle to Gibraltar and become a resident, you will need to re-register the car with a local number plate and pay the appropriate import duty, unless you are exempt. The vehicle will need to undergo an MOT test every two years.

You must also exchange your foreign driving licence for a Gibraltar driving license.

Children of residents are entitled to register their children in public schools and apply for a grant to attend university in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. Gibraltar also has its own university, details of which can be found at https://www.unigib.edu.gi/
